CERN Shutters the Large Hadron Collider for a Major Transformation
The upgrade will boost collision rates by a factor of 10 and could produce about 380 million Higgs bosons over its lifetime.

Large Hadron Collider goes offline to make room for its enhanced successor
The end has come for CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), but it’s not being turned off for fear of the world being sucked into some sort of cosmic anomaly - it’s getting a major upgrade. Physicists at CERN are still bidding goodbye to the LHC, per a Monday announcement from the lab, but this is very much a “the king is dead, long live the king” sort of moment, as the four-year shutdown will result in the completion of the High-Luminosity LHC, or…
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva shut down the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on Monday morning to begin scheduled upgrades aimed at increasing the power of hadron collisions and thus getting closer to solving the mystery of dark matter.
CERN's Large Hadron Collider halts for upgrade to boost hunt for dark matter
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) — a 27-kilometer proton-smashing circular tunnel at the heart of Europe's physics lab CERN near Geneva —has most famously been used to prove the existence of the Higgs boson, dubbed "the God particle."
The European Nuclear Research Center (CERN) yesterday turned off its particle accelerator with the aim of improving it and making it more powerful. With these changes they aim to answer the questions that remain to be answered about the Higgs boson, the particle they discovered in 2012 thanks to the Great Hadron Collider (LHC) and its detectors.
